Heaven's My Home

(Newcomers Home)
Heaven’s My Home
Katie Herzig (Sad Bear Music/ASCAP) and Ruby Amanfu (Famous Music Corp./Roobytunes Publishing/ASCAP)

When I was born my daddy said I was broken
The beginning of the end
Of a life I hadn’t chosen
He taught me how to give up
He taught me how to work the system
But I never had the time
I never had the luxury

Life’s hard
I’ve always known that
I’ve never been handed no welcome mat
When I die please don’t cry
‘Cause heaven’s my home anyhow

Shining my shoes
Seems like time for wasting
‘Cause this bright sun
Is the only shine I need
They say you only live once
And the lot you get’s for keeping
But glory’s gonna come
And make a new man out of me

Life’s hard
I’ve always known that
I’ve never been handed no welcome mat
c
‘Cause heaven’s my home anyhow

When I was born my face was like the angel’s
I took my father by the hand
He said life won’t be hard now

Life’s hard
I’ve always known that
I’ve never been handed no welcome mat
When I die please don’t cry
‘Cause heaven’s my home anyhow
Life’s hard
I’ve always known that
I’ve never been handed no welcome mat
When I die please don’t cry
‘Cause heaven’s my home anyhow
